NECKTlE-FASTTENER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 292,929, dated February 5, 1884.

Application filed December 12, 1883. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JULIUs LOGHMAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Fastenings for Neckties, &c., of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to an improved fastening device applied to the rear side of the shield of a neck tie or scarf for permitting the attachment of same to the collar-button quickly, securely, and easily. The said device has been constructed with a view particularly of receiving the head of any of the varirious sizes and styles of collar-buttons now in use without difficulty.

The invention will be fully understood from the description hereinafter presented, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in whic Figure l is a rear plan view of the shield of anecktie having the invention attached.

- Fig. 2 is a view of the opposite side of the shield, showing the lips by means of which the device is secured. Fig. 3 is a view of the blank from which the fastening is formed,

and Fig. 4 is a section on the line as a: of Fig. 1.

A denotes the necktie-shield, and G the fastening which is the subject of this applica' tion. The fastening G will be blanked from sheet metal by the well-known pu'nch-and-die processes. It consists of a box-like formation, closed at its sides and smaller end by the flanges a, its lower end being entirely open. The end flange a is pointed, and sideflanges a have out upon them lips 12, which pointed end and lips penetrate the shield B, and are bent over on the opposite side thereof, for the purpose of holding the attachment in place. The lower end of the fastening O is wider than its upper end, giving the device the form of a keystone or wedge, and the side is used,) and the tie is then drawn down until the neck of the button passes into the smaller part (I of the slot, when the ends of the shield may be placed underneath the laps of the collar; but when the fastening is to be secured upon a collar button having an irregularshaped head or a large thick headsuch as the separable buttons necessarily employthe lower open end of the fastening is slid over the head and drawn down until the neck of the button passes through the portions 6 c of the slot D and is held in the narrow por tion (1.

By making the fastening wedge shaped both as to its width and depth it will securely retain the head of any usual button, and prevent any moving about of the tie. The head of a large button inayhave a bearing both against the shield and the inner walls of the fastening.

It will appear obvious'that by having the lower end of the fastening entirely open one is enabled to attach the tie to a thick-headed button very readily, and that this could not be done with a different construction unless the slot D were undulylarge and the device had much greater width and depth than the thebutton-slot D, as described, on its face,

the lower end of the fastening being open, and said fastening being applied to the shield of a neck tie or scarf by lips cut thereon and penetrating the shield, substantially as set forth.
